Sneaking a Look at God's Cards : : Unraveling the Mysteries of Quantum Mechanics - Revised Edition / / Giancarlo Ghirardi.
Quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of subatomic particles, seems to challenge common sense. Waves behave like particles; particles behave like waves. You can tell where a particle is, but not how fast it is moving--or vice versa. An electron faced with two tiny holes will travel through...
